Hi All,
I "think" search lists are the answer to my problem, except it doesn't seem to work.
Having said that, my problem. I have a series of single calendar events. They have a metadata field specifying which site, if any, they occur at. I have approx 40 or so sites to choose from. What I am attempting to achieve is a list of all sites that have events running, based on what calendar objects have site metadata filled in. In other words, only display a list of sites which actually have events and hide the others. Then of course these results will link to a search result of all events at that site.
So far I've made a separate search page with a single search field, %asset_metadata_Site% . Site is a "Metadata Selection Field". This search works and when previewed itself give a list of all sites to choose from. Click and it returns all calendar events tagged with that site in their metadata. So far so good.
Here comes the Search list. Simple enough object. I point it at the search form, choose "site" as its "Select Search Field". However it doesn't work. In fact it breaks my design. If I set it so it returns no results, then I get my normal design with "no results found". More strange is that if I nest this search list into a standard page, it also breaks my design.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Can I achieve this list of only used metadata tags any other way?
